As part of the doctoral research done by Alternatives Magazine editor Mr. Ari Hautaniemi, a Europe-wide student radio survey is taking place at the moment. If you are affiliated with any European student, community or university media, please take a moment to answer a few questions and take part in shedding long-waited light to the phenomena of European student radio by following the Webropol questionnaire software link here: THE EUROPEAN STUDENT RADIO QUESTIONNAIRE 2018.

William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey will host the next Alternatives Conference. The next event is planned to take place in 2019 in the legendary New York and WPU campus in New Jersey. Alternatives Magazine will keep it’s eyes open for news and updates.

The next issue of Alternatives Magazine will be published by the end of this year, in December 2018. If you wish to participate in the making-of, please check out the call for contributions right here.

It’s been a while since the happy days of Alternatives2016 conference ended. The team hasn’t forgotten the fantastic atmosphere of belonging and connectivity that could elaborate international collaboration on student / college / campus radio. The next step is the Alternatives Magazine, an online journal for all things student radio. The first issue with articles covering different stations out there will be published in just a month, on June 15th, right here, with a special theme: Passion!

Some of the conference presentations from ALTERNATIVES2016 Conference DAY1 have been uploaded to the DOWNLOADS page. The presentations from DAY2 workshops will soon follow. Also, in the next week you will be presented with a photo album of the entire conference experience. Stay tuned!

As one of the presenters, Mr. Patrick Quinn put it with his Glaswegian accent: Student radio is fun. But as ALTERNATIVES2016 showed, so is meeting student radio people! Thank you for all the great presentations, workshops, discussions, laughs, ideas and moments to all of you who made this possible.

We are pleased to announce that there is only one day left and our ALTERNATIVES2016 conference kicks off! Amazing! Those of you traveling to Finland for the first time, make sure to take warm clothes with you.

ALTERNATIVES2016 is less than two weeks away! There is a good chance that there will be a full house of 80 people in Lahti. There are still a few seats available so please make sure to register as soon as possible to secure your place in this fantastic networking event!
